This is a hot season, isn't it? In Solo, Indonesia, in the middle of March there's no rain drop as much as it should be. And you know, these are perfect days to drying up clothes, long day-sleeping, cleaning around the house and even blogging for some of us, including me. No particular topic for today writing, as I just want to share about Indonesian culture in prevalent way.
In Indonesia which english language is not common, also our bahasa Indonesia-minded is so ingrained, it's familiar to say 'where are you going (mau pergi kemana)?' to close friends, colleagues, neighbours when passed by, in case to show our companionship, regard and openness to each other. We usually say it spontaneously and don't expect for a right answer as it would be a doodlebug question. Some answers may be true due to a referent place, or other subtends place, and the receiver also answer whatever place he/she will, but please, don't say you will go to the pawnshop if you won't to be disgrade in your society.
This is a routine habit and nevertheless won't be subside forever, I think.
So, are you non-native english speaker? What is your jokes about your culture?
